Warriors head coach Mark Jacksonshook off a postgame question Saturday night about whether he'll have the same title next season.

"There has never been discussion as far as my ownership group or my management team," said Jackson, who has one season left on his contract. "... I work every single day with a passion and a commitment, like it's my last. I'm trying to be a blessing to people. I'm trying to impact people. That's the way I live my life, and that's the way I coach.

"I'm totally confident and have total faith that - no matter what - I'm going to be fine. That's even if I'm a full-time pastor."

Parade planning: The Clippers planned since September for something much bigger than Saturday's all-or-nothing Game 7 victory over the Warriors.

On the first day of training camp in San Diego, Clippers head coach Doc Rivershanded each of the Clippers a map of downtown Los Angeles.

"He said, 'Pick which route we're going to take (for the victory parade),'" Clippers center DeAndre Jordan said. "From then on, we weren't just thinking about making the playoffs, making it out of the first round, even the second round. We were thinking big picture.

"It was more of a mind-set thing, for us to know what the season is all about. ... It's about the big picture, us competing for a championship."

The Clippers paid steeply for Rivers, knowing that he would help the young team think about the big picture. They gave up a 2015 first-round pick to Boston and then inked him to a five-year, $35 million deal.

"I just think you have to have a destination," Rivers said. "It just can't be a journey. I don't get that. Where are you going, if you're on a journey and you don't know where you're going? I've never felt like that made any sense."

Clippers to get CEO:The NBA, in consultation with the Clippers' management, will be appointing a chief executive officer to supervise the team's operations, the league announced. Mike Bass, executive vice president of communications said, "The best way to ensure the stability of the team during this difficult situation is to move quickly and install a CEO to oversee the Clippers' organization. The process of identifying that individual is under way."

Donald Sterling's wife, Shelly, has reluctantly been put right in the middle of the drama regarding her husband's racist remarks. She released a statement supporting the NBA's next move toward ousting her husband from the league.
